The title of the article I linked and its subtext is
“The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Could Take 3 Weeks to Recharge—Without Plugging In
Or, put another way, you can get more than 1,000 miles of free range in a year.”
It most definitely charges the battery.

I remember looking at the Prius and it had a solar roof option. I remember reading a MotorTrend article about it. They had to make a lot of assumptions like 12 hours of sun everyday no exceptions and even with that just to break from the cost of the roof option it would take 5+ years. So not really worth it. You’d be better off just paying for the electricity or putting solar on your house and charging with that.

Ford has some terrible ones. I present the 2019 Lincoln Continental.
They put the radio controls down with the HVAC so they could put the gear selector and parking crap on both sides of the radio.
